The Game with Fairies

Time was of the essence, and since Li Muyang and his sister had reached a consensus, the plan for Li Damu and his wife to escape was immediately put into action.

Li Muyang had two maids accompanying him on this journey, both outer disciples of the Demonic Sect.

Because of their good looks and cleverness, they were promoted to serve the inner sect’s direct disciples.

One maid was at the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and the other at the Fifth Layer.

Their cultivation and talents were average, but at least they could manipulate magical instruments, barely qualifying as cultivators.

Li Muyang had his sister go into the cabin to call their parents to prepare to leave while he went to instruct the maids.

Considering that wealth could tempt people, and to prevent a story like Cao Song’s journey to Xuzhou, Li Muyang didn’t give his parents and the maids any money to take with them.

Although both he and Yuechan had treasures hidden in their Qiankun Rings, Li Muyang didn’t give them anything, letting Li Damu and his wife leave the flying boat with nothing but the clothes on their backs, accompanied by the two maids to hide in the nearest forest.

Meanwhile, they continued on the flying boat towards the sect’s mountain gate.

Almost the entire outer body of the flying boat was covered in cracks.

This high-grade magical instrument, crafted with a large amount of spiritual materials, was on the verge of disintegration.

Li Yuechan gazed at the light outside with a sigh,

“Senior, I’m sorry…”

At the last moment, the girl apologized softly.

She carried her senior’s expectations and trust, yet at such a moment, she acted recklessly, trying to coerce her senior into helping by threatening to die.

As a disciple, she was not up to standard.

But the mysterious woman’s voice was very calm.

“Being compassionate and loyal is the reason I chose you.”

“If you weren’t like this, I wouldn’t have chosen you in the first place.”

The mysterious woman said softly, “It’s alright, this is all my own doing.”

The mysterious woman consoled her disciple with a smile, but in her heart, she sighed softly.

You silly girl, your senior can’t save your brother, but how could I let you die… If it really came to the last moment, she would definitely take this girl away forcefully.

As for the mysterious and unpredictable heir of the Ancient Evil Lineage…

The mysterious woman looked towards Li Muyang, who was not far away, but she could never see through this guy.

He was shrouded in a strange and chaotic aura that obscured everything, even preventing her, an ancient times Corpse-Resolving Immortal, from seeing through him.

He was clearly only at the Golden Core stage, yet…

Such an abnormal and eerie situation deepened the mysterious woman’s wariness.

And after the cloud chariot flying boat continued to race for two more hours, it finally disintegrated in the afternoon.

The disintegration of the flying boat started with the outer body of the deck. But as one of the cracks widened, the countless other cracks that extended across the surface of the hull also began to tear and expand.

In just the span of ten breaths, the exquisitely crafted flying boat lost all its light and disintegrated in mid-air.

Countless pieces of the hull fell, plummeting towards the ground below.

However, the prepared Aunt Su immediately took out a Qiankun Ring and caught all the falling pieces of the hull, storing them in the ring.

The three of them landed in the wilderness, and at that moment, they were completely without a flying magical instrument.

Aunt Su, with her usual composure, said, “Let’s continue forward, the elder will meet us up ahead.”

At this point, the only way left was to escape downwards.

As for Yan Xiaoru waiting ahead… obviously, compared to Yan Xiaoru, it was more likely that the Old Man of Withered Leaves and his group of demon cultivators would arrive first.

Li Muyang sighed, glancing at his little sister beside him.

He wanted to deceive Yuechan into leaving.

This little girl, usually so cunning and clever, was acting so irrationally at a critical moment of life and death.

He couldn’t understand what she intended to do by staying.

Did she have an ace up her sleeve?

But no matter what tricks she had, they were probably useless now.

After sending Li Muyang’s parents away, this little girl had been in a very downcast state, visibly falling apart mentally.

She was nothing like her initially spirited self.

Li Muyang guessed that his little sister might have secretly tried her trump card, but to no avail, hence her despair.

He thought that now was a good opportunity to persuade Yuechan to leave.

But just then, a streak of light flew out from the nearby mountains.

The aura within that light was incredibly familiar.

Li Muyang was slightly taken aback and quickly looked around.

“This place…”

Li Muyang’s eyes widened.

The wilderness around them seemed vaguely familiar.

Li Yuechan, shocked, looked towards the streak of light and then at the distant ancient forest shrouded in miasma, immediately recognizing the place.

“Brother, this is the territory of Black Marsh City, it’s Xiaoshun’s hometown!”

On this trip home to visit relatives, Li Muyang had brought along his good friend Guan Xiaoshun and had dropped him off at the territory of Black Marsh City.

However, after circling around Cloud Smoke Lake, they had unexpectedly returned to Black Marsh City.

Seeing Guan Xiaoshun’s light flying towards them from a distance, the young man anxiously landed in front of everyone, and Li Muyang said helplessly,

“Xiaoshun? Why are you here?”

This kid was quick on his feet!

But Guan Xiaoshun looked anxious, and after landing, he immediately asked, “Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Yuechan, have you run into trouble?”

“Uh… and Senior Aunt Su…”

After hastily greeting Aunt Su, Guan Xiaoshun then turned to the three disheveled and travel-worn figures, his expression puzzled.

“I just saw a flying boat break apart in the sky and hurried over.”

“Why isn’t Senior Sister Ning here? And where are the others?”

Guan Xiaoshun was extremely agitated and somewhat confused, “Senior Brother Li, did you encounter an accident and get chased?”

“Why did the flying boat disintegrate, and why was it flying so fast?”

The young man was naive but smart.

Based on the scene and the state of the three, he had vaguely guessed the situation.

To this, Li Muyang could only smile wryly and shake his head, “Indeed, we’ve run into some trouble, but we’re still okay.”

“Senior Sister Ning is not dead. She just got separated from us while we were fleeing.”

“We’re being relentlessly pursued by the Old Man of Withered Leaves from the Qingyang Association with a group of demon cultivators. To shake them off, we overworked the flying boat, causing it to disintegrate.”

Li Muyang briefly explained the situation and then said to the young man, “Xiaoshun, you should go back to the mountains. Those demon cultivators are terrifyingly powerful, with several at the Divine Travel Realm.”

“We need to continue fleeing. They are after me, and you must not get involved.”

Saying this, Li Muyang took his sister and immediately took off to escape.

Aunt Su followed closely behind.

Time was precious for escape. There was no time to catch up here.

However, just as Li Muyang took off with his light, Guan Xiaoshun’s anxious figure also rose up, blocking the three of them directly.

“Senior Brother Li, wait, don’t go yet. To evade the pursuit, even your flying boat has disintegrated.”

“Without the flying boat, won’t you be caught up to soon?”

“I know about the Old Man of Withered Leaves and the Qingyang Association. The sect’s handbook mentions them, and they’re very terrifying!”

“You won’t be able to escape like this!”

Guan Xiaoshun said this with hesitation in his expression.

But in the end, the young man gritted his teeth and said, “I know a senior who happens to be passing by Black Marsh City these days. He once promised to do me a favor.”

“I’ll go ask for his help right away. His divine power is vast, and if he’s willing to make a move, he may stop the Old Man of Withered Leaves!”

The straightforward border town youth rashly stood in front, wanting Li Muyang and the others to stop.

Upon hearing this, Li Muyang and the others exchanged glances.

The senior Guan Xiaoshun knew… aware of the Old Man of Withered Leaves and the Qingyang Association, and confident enough to stop them…

Could it be a powerful being from the Purple Mansion?!
